Video: Bernie Eisel's soccer skills, bike control on front of peloton

Bernie Eisel showing off his soccer skills and incredible bike control - and confidence - on the front of the bunch today.

 

Marcel Kittel (QuickStep) has won stage 2 of the Abu Dhabi Tour today in a bunch sprint after crashing yesterday and having his disc brakes blamed for slicing Owain Doull's (Team Sky) shoe and foot.

Though footage of the crash cast doubt on whether Kittel's brakes had caused the damage, he has stopped using them in the race.

He just got the better of Caleb Ewan (Orica-Scott) today when the Australian celebrated too early, see video below.

And earlier up the road one of the breakaway men was having difficulty holding his drink, see second clip below.

Bernie Eisel was also showcasing his skills today, kicking a bottle off the road when on the front of the bunch so nobody else would hit it; check out his incredible bike control in the first clip below.

Nicolas Roche (BMC Racing) as finished in the bunch on both opening stages.

Limerick's Stephen Clancy (Novo Nordisk) finished in the bunch on the opening stage came home 144th, at 1:52, on today's second stage.
